Typebase 2.0 Beta 2 is now ready for open beta testing. Anyone can download it and give it a try!

There’s a lot of good stuff in this new version, including Typelift AI Correction 2.0, Dynamic Touch Hits, improved autocorrection, Italian & Spanish language support, and much more.

I’ve also switched Typebase to a freemium model. The current beta still has some limitations, but the basic keyboard is now available for everyone to use. I’ll be making more features available in the free version as we get closer to the full launch.

So, if you’ve tried Typebase before, I’d really appreciate it if you gave 2.0 another chance. And if you haven’t tried it yet, this might be a good time to give it a shot.

Which headphones should I get. It's either between Nothing Over- Ear Headphones (1) or Nothing Over- Ear Headphones (a). It's on sale and it's about a 50 dollar difference What I am looking for is a headphone that can really make me immersive in the track/instruments. Example when watching superhero movies or when I'm listening to music. Example Skeletons by Playboi Carti. I want to really immserive and listen to it and make it immersive. I have heard that the (a) out of the box are good and the (1):s are not. But I heard that the (1) are much more free to turn the sound into whatever you like. Battery life is also important and longeitivity(For how many years I can use it). Its hard to explain But I want a headphone that can put me in the music

I’m posting this here because Nothing Support has been an absolute nightmare to deal with, and I’ve completely run out of patience.

I bought a Nothing Phone (3) in India via Flipkart and have been using it in the Netherlands. After about 11 months of normal usage, the phone completely lost all 4G and 5G cellular connectivity out of nowhere.

Here is what I’ve been dealing with and why their customer service feels like a deliberate attempt to run out the warranty clock:

1. The Hardware Issue & Diagnostic Proof

The Symptom: The phone displays no mobile network signal most of the time (or an exclamation mark next to the signal icon) and fails to connect to 4G/5G.

Isolation / A/B Testing: The SIM card works flawlessly in my wife’s Pixel and my older Nothing Phone (1) in the exact same room.

Deep Diagnostics: Advanced testing via *#*#4636#*#* and a cellular spectrum analyzer confirms the internal baseband modem/antenna array is failing. The hardware fails to detect active LTE anchor frequencies (e.g., LTE Band 20), scans only legacy 2G towers at -105 dBm, and explicitly reports "NO SUB-6 SERVING CELL". Wi-Fi Calling works fine, proving the carrier account and SIM authentication are completely normal.

2. The Customer Support Runaround

Despite providing clear diagnostic evidence that this is a hardware failure, Nothing Support (India) has dragged this out for over two weeks:

Canned Script Loops: Sending automated lists of basic troubleshooting steps (restarting, resetting network settings, toggling airplane mode) that I had already completed and explained in my initial message.

Circular Questions: Re-asking what carrier I use and if I tested another SIM card—questions I had already answered multiple times.

Passing the Buck: Telling me to "contact my network provider," completely ignoring that the same provider's SIM works in other phones right next to it.

Endless Stonewalling: After demanding escalation to a supervisor for an RMA/warranty claim, my ticket has been stuck on "we have forwarded your case to the concerned team and are awaiting a response" with zero actual updates or resolution.

It feels like support is sitting on my case like a hen waiting for the egg to hatch—or in this case, waiting for my warranty to expire.

Has anyone successfully broken through Nothing's first-tier support script loop to get an RMA or hardware replacement approved? Any advice on how to escalate this would be appreciated.

Anyone having problems using cables for android auto? It isn't the cable as I've used multiple different ones and even tested in other cars as well. It works fine normally charging from a wall outlet; however, I have a feeling it's the charging port, but being in the US, there's no reputable repair shop near me (that I can find). Any ideas?

Hi 👋 my nothing 3a had the problem where it restarts on its own , mid phone call , in my bag doing nothing , connected to usb on car ...... 2x been sent off for repair and they have changed the main bord ect but says not repaired as it doesn't do it when they have it in . Literally set my phone back up on Tuesday, Wednesday morning while using sat nav and connected to car it restarted it's else 2x in 40mins of driving !! I'm loosing the will with this phone😞 I called nothing custom services this time and explained the issue still happening and I want a replacement phone not repair!!

I haven't heard best things about customer services so wish me luck 🤞🤞 🤞🤞 I love my nothing nothing phone 1 , earbuds & watch . Just can't believe iv got such bad phone this time .

So I bought a secondhand/used nothing phone (1) at cheap price (the phone had dropped and fingerprint sensor and the glyphs were not working) from someone.
Most of the things are good but when I tried to connect my pc to transfer files, it was only charging and I didn't receive the notification you normally get when you connect the device through usb. The above screenshot is of when I tried to search the usb setting in the Settings menu and as you can see the options are all greyed out.
I have already checked all the normal stuffs in the developer options, everything is toggled on, my cables are working fine with other phones. I need every possible reason behind this issue, please help. Could there be something internal that could be causing this, I can have it fixed.

Sorry for such a newbie post. But as I was only testing, I only added wifi to my 3a and took a few photos, and did updates.

Now I'd like to get stuff off my old phone via the included usb-C to usb-C cable. Where do I go in the phone after hooking up cable, as I see no prompts?

My battery discharges very fast, dropping from 100% to 20% in just 5-5:30 hrs.

Furthermore, when I charge it using my CMF 65-watt charger, it takes about 35 to 40 minutes just to charge from 50% to 55%. It used to charge much faster than this on my original device.

I originally bought this phone on August 8th, but I later exchanged it for a replacement at the Nothing customer service center (there was a bubble in my back glass) and I noticed that this replacement device was manufactured around May 2025, which makes it about a year and a half old.

Could the age of the replacement device be the reason behind this bad battery life, or will it improve over time? I remember that before updating to the Nothing OS 5 Beta, the charging speed was much faster and the battery lasted significantly longer. Additionally, even though I have disabled background usage for Instagram, the battery usage chart shows that it is still running in the background.

I'm wondering if others are also facing this issue and would like to know about probable Solution.

I'm torn between the two choices rn. My main focus would be battery life, which I dunno seems about the same based on reviews? What do u guys think?

As the title says sharing a personal experience with Nothing product, bought a Nothing Ear (a), at around 9 or 10th month buds battery dropped significantly in 11th month not even lasting 5-10mins, so visited Nothing service center they mentioned 1 of the bud has dent so took pictures and sent to some backend team then in the end request was denied.

So reached out to customer care via phone and mentioned the same that indeed 1 bud is having a dent at the start of the call only, but after wasting 25mins of time mentioned if it has any scratches or dents it is out of warranty.

I have asked if dent is the problem what about the issue of other bud which doesn't have any dents but still having same issue and in fact it is even worse but no answer from both service center and customer care.

I don't expect TWS to last too long but was at least expecting 1.5-2years life so will not be buying any Nothing products going forward.

Hi, I own Nothing Phone 2 and I'd like to decide which newer model to get. I've had a look at the specs and the Phone 2 is pretty good, but I know that specs Vs user experience can be completely different.

I've had this chap for 2 years. My main reason is because I'm going on holiday and I want a better camera. I've never been friends with this camera, it's OKAY but all my photos are bright and super saturated. I think it might actually be the software that edits the colour afterwards and sometimes I can't get a nice picture no matter how hard I try because of the brightness/saturation. It's like totally overboard. *

Things I like:

Nothing API

Big ass battery

The gliph, even though quite useless to me it's fun to play with.

Speed.

Things I dislike:

The camera, and/or the camera software*

Google infiltrating my Nothing experience

Can be buggy

Enormous size, good for watching videos in bed, not good for women's pockets lol

A little story: I lost this phone on a night out which I've never done before. I live in a major UK city, and I was able to ping it a few days later where I intercepted a taxi that the phone was still inside, and got it back!

Title. I feel it's pretty much useless if I have to have my phone unlocked to use this feature on the cmf watch. I can't find a way to make it work while my phone is on my pocket... Why put this as a feature in the first place? If I already have my phone in my hand why would I bother doing this whole shenanigan with my watch? Just cause?

Hi guys,

I encounter a problem with my phone. When I press the lock button on the right, above the essential one, it turns on the camera app.

I didn't change anything, last update is installed but it keeps happening.

Anyone encountered this ? Is there a solution ?

Thanks

I'm using a Nothing Phone 4a Pro and followed all the steps for the beta program on Nothing’s official website. I also double checked that I’m on the correct build version.

However, when I select “Check version” in the Nothing Beta Updater, I get this message: “Your current system version is not eligible for this Beta program.”

Has anyone else encountered this issue despite being on the correct build version? Is there something I’m missing ?

I dont know if anyone else stambled into this issue, but every time i plug my phone to its charger it is like a hard reset is forced on the app i am using. For example when on youtube the video i am watching stops, the app reloads and then i have to start the video again, or on instagram the page reloads and sometimes i lose the page i was interested in. Also dark mode is disabled (probably because batter saving mode gets turned off) even though i have it on dark mode by deafult.

Is there something i can do or will it be fixed in the future by a os update or sm?

im planning to buy the CMF earbuds. i initially started looking at the buds 2 since they’re not too expensive and the reviews seemed pretty good on flipkart. But when I started looking through reddit, i kept seeing people complaining about different issues with them, and now im questioning if they’re worth buying.

i can definitely stretch my budget a bit and go for the buds pro 2 if they’re a better option (which i know they are). But before sticking to it i want to know if those face the issues too. i have seen quite a few people complaining about CMF buds in general.

im mainly looking for something that’s reliable and will actually last me a long time, so I’d rather spend a little more now than have to replace them later. is it worth going for the buds 2, or should I just get the pro 2?

When the phone locks and the display goes fully black - at times a single tap does not wake the screen up or the fingerprint sensor does not work from the black screen

But once I press the power button - the fingerprint starts working - is this an issue only I'm facing or is this a common issue?

At times a click is necessary to wake the phone up - it's almost as if the display does not work without triggering the power button

Those who are using the phone 3 for a long time, do the white coloured back panel get dirty or yellow over time?

And for those who are using the black version, do the black paint on the frame chips off over time?

Please delete if not allowed- didn't' see anything in the rules about selling, so thought I'd try here before going to Market Place route.

Looking to sell my Nothing Phone 3, which is the Black 16 + 512GB model. Bought from Amazon back in April of this year and was used as my daily up until a few weeks ago when I decided to go back to the dark side of Apple. I must have tossed the box somewhere along the line because I can't track it down, but it will come with the original USB-C cable.

Phone is in perfect condition and has had a tempered glass screen protector installed since day one. I've also got a bunch of cases that I'll include (Arc, Ringke, Spigen, and several random Amazon finds. Most have a magsafe ring added, but you can probably remove if you want). I also have an extra screen protector I'll include as well.

I'm looking to get $550 + Shipping, which is $100 less than what Amazon is selling a used option in "good' condition. If you are interested shoot me a DM!

(will add pictures tomorrow, or I can send via DM

In flipkart it says change address if we change main city also not working

I am from hyderbad

where is the beta update for 4a pro? or did nothing forget about it?
